 Good EDC knife March 10, 2010
John (Austin, Tx)
I really like this knife. I got a steel ball chain for it and carry everyday. I wish the plastic sheaf was a little smaller but at least it stays in during a run and doesn't bounce out. The handle is a bit small for my hand, but I know it's to save weight.
 My Favorite Knife February 27, 2010
Nathan Hoyt (Somewhere in Afghanistan)
I have a thing for fixed blade knives. I like their simplicity. They don't get clogged up with pocket lint and there are no moving parts to break. However, many of the knives that I like are simply too big for daily use. Additionally, most fixed blade knives aren't very discrete. A 5" folder doesn't make people nervous, but it you carry a small fixed blade knife on your belt, paranoid soccer moms call the cops. A neck knife is an obvious choice, but many of them are too dinky.
The Becker Necker is just right for daily carry. It is small enough to be a neck knife, yet big enough to be worth a damn. I wear XL gloves and it fits nicely into my hand, especially with my trigger finger along the spine, my most common grip. I guess if you have huge hands or thick fingers, it might not feel right. The steel takes a sharp edge. The edge needs to be oiled occasionally to prevent corrosion from dulling it. The sheath is very secure and can be carried whatever way you prefer: neck, belt, boot or kit. Some report that it is hard to get out of the sheath, but I haven't had any problems. The blade has a good belly for its length, so it will be a good skinner. This knife is too light for chopping and I don't think I'd use it as a pry bar. I wrapped my Necker's handle with gutted para-cord. If you routinely use it for messy stuff like skinning, I'd skip the wrapping. I've had no occasion to use the bottle opener yet, but that function is like a garter belt under a prom dress... it is sexy just knowing it is there.

1095 steel in a great competitive package.
This knife is a great size to carry daily, and I have no problem concealing it. The bottle opener works great. I have taken it camping and used it to make feather sticks as well as remove from bark from a sweet gum sapling for a skewer. I also used it for splitting down (small) cedar logs for kindling. It remained shaving sharp those normal camp tasks. I have also done a few different 550 para cord wraps on the handle, and it feels great in hand when wrapped. As a collector of knives (ranging from $20 to $400+) this is one of my smarter purchases.
Good knife, but a few problems February 19, 2010

Overall, this knife is okay. The only problem I had was the handle was a little short, and it came quite dull. It was a huge pain to give it a satisfactory edge. I was astounded Ka-Bar shipped it do dull, It was incapable of shaving hair off the arm. I have seen $5 knives come sharper.
Other than that, this knife is just fine.
Great knife, Great price! February 9, 2010

This knife is razor sharp, well balanced, and very well constructed. Its light weight and feels very comfortable when clipped to a belt or inside the waistband. My only small gripe is that since I have large hands, I wish the handle were half an inch longer because when I hold it my pinkie is just hanging out there. Regardless of this fact, it feels solid in my hand without even wrapping the supplied paracord around the handle. I highly recommend this knife, and will consider purchasing another at somepoint in the future.
